PhD Career Resources

This webpage serves as a curated collection of online PhD careers resources tailored for Ph.D. professionals seeking to transition from academia to alternative career paths. The featured resources encompass podcasts, websites, and newsletters. I highly encourage leveraging these resources to broaden your perspective and discover rewarding career opportunities beyond the academic realm. Notably, many of these valuable resources were discovered through networking with others.
